NFL (since 2016)

[crystal falace]

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Norflundon 9:30 Mon Sep 20 Same as last year then. Have they improved their secondary as they were bloody awful? Until Dak Prescott got injured the offence was almost unstoppable. Am a bit worried about the Dolphins now. We looked better when Fitzpatrick was QB and tailed off a bit offensively when Tua took over. I hope Tua isn't crocked but still suspect that he is not actually all that good.

[Hermit Road]

"Yeah I know it's a spactrick but fuck it, I'm gutted that we have a proper NFL connection with Norf and his brother's ended up there, and after Hard Knocks he seems like a decent geezer too. It's making me have to put extra effort into hating them"

[Hermit Road]

"Also, tell your brother that he'd better get Parsons some extra strong pads because Dallas Goedert is going to treat him like tarmac."

[Hermit Road]

"The Birds were shit yesterday but when they play the Cowgirls they are going to grind them into dust, in Philly and in Dallas. Fletcher Cox is going to use Dak as a mop to clean the Linc. After last week's debacle with Rodgers, I am relying on him to win despite this week's debacle."

[Norflundon]

"Cowboys looking like they've got a lot of weapons in the arsenal ""¶.if they keep players fit they could have a big season"

[Takashi Miike]

"no Cough, you've been far from shit. you should be 2-0 on the road and just poor discipline (week one) and a questionable coach call (week two) was the difference. I think you have a very promising side, but like I said to SB, the suits need to stay patient"

Vikings stinking the place out yet again

[southbankbornnbred]

"Mentally, most Jets fans wrote off this season long before it even started - due to that complete lack of experience anywhere in the set-up. Even more so after the first two games. But we are fucking fed up writing-off season after season after season. The franchise is just never, ever settled and the constant excuse from owners is that the new coaches/players are building for a future that never arrives. That's when this just becomes tiresome. You guys know that in Washington."

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - you've basically just summed up the last 20 years at the Jets! Hopefully, the new crop will - over time - be a different breed. I like how Saleh talks about the game and he seems to have good instincts. So does Joe Douglas, the GM. But they're both still young and raw as a GM-HC combo. Add to that the point you're making - that the QB1 is barely out of nappies - and there's a whole lot of experience missing. Time will tell. More than most sets of fans, we have seen and heard a LOT of this before. I see Darnold has already turned solid in Carolina! Don't say we weren't warned!"

[Takashi Miike]

"It must be hard for a college QB to play from the get to as QB1. I can't remember many succeeding in recent years other than Herbert, even Allen needed a year to get accustomed to the league. I appreciate the pressure coaches are under and them also dealing with expectations, but front offices have to be staffed by football people otherwise you'll have a constant revolving door of failure"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Wilson threw four interceptions - two of which were fucking awful decisions. Juts goes to show that most rookie QBs have a long way to go before they are NFL standard. You could tell that Saleh was really pissed with Wilson after the game. The coach said in his interview that Wilson has to learn to be boring - and do the basic things well - rather than try to light up every game on every play. He's trying too hard and thinking he can just produce some magic by throwing on the run every time he gets into trouble. Do that against a Bill Belichick defense and, as he found out, you'll soon find yourself on your arse all day. No escaping the fact that Wilson was poor. But it's just his second NFL game and the crash-landing will, I hope, do him some good. He's already learned that this is not BYU and he's going to get ripped to pieces unless he can do the NFL fundamentals well. Hard to see the Jets winning more than four games this season. Saleh, like Wilson, has a lot to learn. I like the cut of his jib, and nobody should be judged on an early match-up with Belichick. But the Jets have seen a lot of supposed defensive-minded HCs (Edwards, Mangini, Rex and Bowles) come and go in recent decades - we will expect to at least see some improvements on that side of the ball. But the defense was fucking awful at times yesterday."

[Holstebro Hammer]

Yeah it was touch and go there for a while Falace. But I think those early Gronk TDs just tipped it my favour. Although how many picks did Zack Wilson throw??? I can't see them winning a game this year.

[crystal falace]

2nd highest points scorer in the week and i just happen to be against the highest scorer! Lost ny about 5 points! As predicted i made a horrible decision with my receivers antonio brown killed me!

[Nutsin]

"Niners win another early start east coast game. 2-0 baby! Philly is a good team, their D line is legit but Niners D is better. Glad I can say that game is behind us. Nice to beat them on their home opener. next up we have Green Bay at home. Then Seattle, can't wait!"

[zebthecat]

Joe Burrow is having a bit of a 'mare.

[crystal falace]

"Belichick vs rookie QBs is one of the most lop sided stats going The ""mormon mahomes"" has 3 picks already"

[crystal falace]

This game is bonkers

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, ignore what I said and stick with the experts ""crystal, no stick with him"""

[crystal falace]

"All the ""experts"" said to go with chase or robinson this week. I really only picked mcLaurin because i wanted some interest in this game if i was going ti watch the first half. Working well so far. Heinicke has worked out that if you just throw it Terry's way he'll come down with it mlre often than not"

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, no stick with him. sunday fitz never targeted him once before his injury, he was then targeted four times - catching all four from heinicke. we'll get a lot more of the ball tonight, the chargers offense were on the field twenty minutes in the first half sunday, so I expect quite a difference later"

[crystal falace]

"The mannings are doing an alternate commentary on every monday night game. I saw a bit of it on the first one and they are both very good. Mike talk to me about Terry Mclaurin, i drafted him as my WR1 thinking fitz was just gna chuck it up to him all year. Has he lost alot of value with the young lad at QB for the forseeable?"

[Takashi Miike]

this is good. the Manning Bros + Russell Wilson commentating on the Ravens v Raiders overtime from Monday night (20 minute video) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H5KiJFx8S4I

*must*

[Takashi Miike]

"I know it's a bit early talking about just win games, but considering the skins upcoming schedule, the giants game is just that giants (h), bills (a), falcons (a), saints (h), chiefs (h), packers (a), broncos (a), buccs (h) üòÅ"
